New Drama Competition

The Windsor Fringe Marriott Award for New Drama Writing has announced its call for submissions. The deadline for entries is the 29th of February.

The award is for amateur writers only, and only one script, under 30 minutes long, can be entered. Scripts will not be accepted by email. Plays must not have been previously performed, must be the original work of the entrant, and should be suitable for staging in a studio theatre with no more than six actors.

Three authors' works will be shortlisted and performed on the last three nights of The Windsor Fringe Festival during October 2008. The winner of the £500 award will be announced on the final night.
